You must reduce the basis of property by the depreciation allowed or allowable, whichever is greater. Depreciation allowed is depreciation you actually deducted (from which you received a tax benefit). Depreciation allowable is depreciation you are entitled to deduct.
There are three important factors when calculating depreciation: 1  Useful life: The amount of time a company expects an asset to be productive. 2  Salvage value: When a business gets rid of an asset, it could sell it for a reduced amount. 3  Depreciation method: there are two main methods of calculating. The first is the Straight Line Method, which takes the overall depreciation and divides it evenly over the useful life of the asset. The second is the Accelerated Method, which creates more depreciation early on in the life of a fixed asset.
